If I am right, as long as you keep the wheels the same size you should be fine. If you were, say, to put 17" alloys on a car which came with 13" wheels as standard then you would need to re-calibrate your speedo. I think the tyre size can also make a difference.

Sorry to hear about this. My cousin was the victim of an attempted car-jacking outside a club in Swindon a little while back. He drives a 4x4 and had just dropped some people off round the back of the club and some young guys tried to wrench his door open. What they didn't realise was that my...

I think this is something that all of us on here have encountered before. To be honest I don't care anymore: my car is cheap to run, economic and reliable. If I had the money I would probably buy something else, faster and better-looking, but as I am a student I am happy just to have a car and...

That's awesome. Looks like some sort of propellant, so I am guessing he can't fly for that long. Be good if it could cover long distances...

Very dodgy stretch of road. I have had some near misses crossing the road there at night trying to get down to the Honeyclub and the Beach. People drive way too fast down there, particularly at night.

I think there will be more to this story than PH is letting on. If the regulations were to be what PH claims they are (merely groups of cars) then they would be unenforceable. 99% sure there will be limitations (e.g. anti-social behaviour being involved). You would think that Notts would be more...

Today - packing my stuff up and heading back to the West country Saturday - getting mashed at my parent's anniversary do Sunday - Driving back to Brighton for the last week of term. All the exams are over so it will be one MESSY week. Can't wait lol!

Slammed! Bet your car loves speed bumps lol. Looks great.

It annoys me so much when passengers mess around with the controls. I used to have a mate (note the USED) who would always knock my car out of gear just before pulling away at lights and junctions. It annoyed me no end, but for some reason he thought it was hilarious. As the others have said...

Should be fine. Got my cover off (carefully) and the gasket didn't break. They are rubber though (assuming the K10 is the same) and quite delicate, but do it slowly and you should be ok. Unless it is cream crackered I would imagine it is fine to re-use.

I went to the Auto Italia day a few weeks ago and there was a similar car club there - Group 20 or something. Anyway, they had a Pagani Zonda Roadster F - one of 25 in the world and the only one in the country apparently. But I have my doubts about clubs like these - they are so expensive that I...

Congratulations. Don't think I have ever been as nervous as I was before my first driving test. Just take it steady.

I had a crash this morning. Hit a car in the rear at a junction. Usual mistake, was looking right and didn't look in front before I pulled away, and the chap in front hadn't moved. So he gets out of the car and he's only a dwarf! He says to me: "I ain't happy mate", so I said "Well which one are...

Asking for trouble really isn't it? Although I think that any decent lawyer would get him off a charge, could just say that the whole thing was faked to get a reaction from the other forum users. Gross stupidity.

Good drills. Hope you really hurt the toerag. You reckon the police are going to charge him? Might be a lack of evidence.

Cheque arrived this morning, much to my delight. Funny how the threat of court meant that my cheque suddenly arrived after all those others mysteriously went missing eh? Will never be dealing with them again.

Yep, that is exactly what I intend to use. I will give them until Friday, hopefully after today's conversation they will realise that I am not just going to write this money off and will actually send me it. If not, then on Tuesday I will begin my claim using the online service. In the meantime...

Right, the time has come. Just got off the phone to Tim, because surprise surprise my cheque hasn't arrived. I was pretty blunt with him: just said "either you get me my money by Friday or I will be issuing a county court claim". His immediate response was "no problem, I will get another cheque...

Debit card, unfortunately. I have a feeling that I will get my money as soon as they get a letter from my solicitor: that way they can keep my money as long as possible, but avoid paying costs. This is my main concern, because I am going to get charged stupid amounts of money for a letter to be...
